Making a Daisy Dress - a cottagecore dress tutorial

I‘m back with a tutorial on my daisy dress! I didn’t intend to make a tutorial while making this dress, so it’s a little different style of video, but I hope it helps if you want to make your own! my goal for 2021 is to post consistently on youtube (right now I’m aiming for 2 videos a month) so hopefully you will be seeing more of me this year :)
This dress was inspired by the famous strawberry dress, made by Lirika Matoshli: lirikamatoshi.com/products/st...
The footage of the strawberry dress is of @mailleur_maker: / mailleur_maker
Supplies I used for this dress:
4 yds daisy tulle (though I recommend getting 5!)
3 yds Ivory tulle
1-2yds satin lining
1 yd chiffon
1.5 yds lace trim
Invisible zipper
1/4 inch white elastic

[@travelmom3031]

this would make an adorable wedding dress with a large, floppy hat and a bouquet of roses and daisies.

[@kahluakarnage]

I was actually thinking sunflowers 🌻 and baby’s breath for the bouquet but I also love the idea of yellow roses

[@Myllkka]

Yes, but also just a dress, because honestly there are so many options and ideas for wedding dresses I'll just feel like getting married every year! 😂

[@jorjarainford6993]

definetly:)

[@jimenaroldan549]

My grandma's name was Daisy (but in Spanish tho hehe). My wedding dress better be something with daisies on ot

[@nomnomthebun9581]

daisy, daisy, give me your answer do-

[@aemisias8357]

You literally inspired me to start making my own clothing.

[@californialove4665]

same!!

[@audrey4673]

[@Alanafellows09]

Same lol! Me and my grandma are gonna try and make this

Holy crap. I've spent 35 years on this planet without realizing that sewing can be accessible and doable, thank you!

[@crispykalechips]

Yes! It's great skill to get into and easy to learn. In fact, many years ago it was common for people to make their own clothes instead of buying them before the fast fashion industry became the norm. Sustainable too!

[@libertyjones1347]

“I posted it on Instagram and tiktok and lots of people liked it” Darling, that is the understatement of the year! Every lover of cottagecore died and went to heaven seeing the dress ❤️ You kind of broke my heart by showing me something so creative and beautiful that I’d never be able to make 😭 Then you mended my heart by uploading this video ❤️❤️ Thankyou so much for your lovely content xx

[@cutebunny6690]

You can learn how to sew so you might be able to do that dress

[@miae4462]

you and micarah tewers are my sewing inspirations also THIS DRESS IS SO PRETTY U ARE SO TALENTED

[@crescentshay]

haha omg i LOVE her!! she has the best chaotic sewing energy :D

same but also Bernadette banner-

And with wendy

[@rlj99]

If i ever get married, I would want to wear this dress!

[@aracellilo2341]

THAT WOULD BE PRECIOUS

[@kjcook5840]

Agreed, it's perfect!

[@MyNameisMessenger]

Yes! Big floppy hat to go with it or a little tiara and sparkling veil.

[@vanillacoffeeaddict]

@@aracellilo2341 Some lace gloves and some daisies as the bouquet!

[@llarosa1375]

I was thinking of the same thing 🤭

[@anitalee7162]

I feel like doing this as a first sewing project would be wayy to adventitious. But, I wanna do it. 🙈

[@crescentshay]

It may be a liiiittle ambitious for a first project, but there is no harm in trying! If the whole dress seems like a lot, just the skirt is a super doable beginner project!

[@patb2582]

How did you learn to sew??

[@Lenaaaa596]

@D. Va you can do it!

[@Cheeseooo]

I wanna make this too! But with only one fabric which is a bed sheet cuz i don’t wanna waste good fabric

[@autumnthemaker]

I don’t know if you understand how happy you made me when I saw this dress on TikTok!! When the strawberry dress came out, I literally told my mom “I want it but with daisies!!” And here you are making my dream a reality!! I’m a beginner plus size sewer and this tutorial actually gives me hope that I can make something similar for my own body!! Thank you so much!! 😊

[@MyNameisMessenger]

Oh gosh, if you ever do a dress like that I would love to see it!

[@abee948]

This dress is the best thing ever

[@crescentshay]

ah thank you! it's definitely my favorite dress that I've made :D

this dress is the most beautiful thing ever and when I stumbled upon you on insta I immediately wanted to make something like it

[@moonkute93]

I love you ! You're so creative and inspiring !!!

[@jamalchaudhry1975]

Omg hey! I hope you reply to this 😀 I used to watch your channel a lot your videos are really entertaining since I am a fan of Disney princesses and I forgot about your channel for a while so after seeing this comment I immediately remembered you 😅

[@scout8901]

Are we just gonna ignore how beautiful she is!?!? Like she is so pretty!

[@maria-zy2pf]

That's so true!!!! I was thinking exactly that

[@kaileys3462]

Kinda wanna make a yellow sundress but I have no sewing skill lol

[@aracellilo2341]

dude same

[@venusweetheart]

im pretty sure that at some walmarts they sell Simplicity where they have the guide but i think you have to buy the fabric separately

[@cottoncandace7704]

I have watched many sewing tutorials and stuff and i'm still unable to understand it I really wanna learn fashion designing but i guess i have no talent for it ☹

[@gloriamargarita]

I prefer yours over the strawberry one ☺️

[@maytendo]

You are SO NICE TO WATCH, you’re so bubbly and fun and I feel like I’m actually learning so much. Please make more videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@Scarlett0Hara]

I love how much you gush over your dress. There isn't a moment in the video when you're not smiling. I've always loved the idea of creating clothes, but I suck at measurements and definitely don't have the time (or the energy) to learn a skill like that. This really made me happy though and your smile is seriously contagious. Keep up the awesome work!

[@laurelbrown1179]

brb I’m off to buy the daisy fabric and try my best to make this... thank you!!! I totally haven’t been stalking your insta waiting for this tutorial lol

[@fairiesoftheworldroshni5027]

I fell in love with this like wow it's flawless and perfect for cottagecore. I saw this on insta weeks ago I just searched for it and guess what u just posted this video I am so lucky tysmm I am gonna try it

[@Floop246]

Daisy dresses are absolutely gorgeous. You have true talent and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. God bless you!!

[@Nina-df3zq]

If you started to sell this dress on etsy or something I would totally buy it! 🥺 This is just totally my style and it seems like I won't find anything similar. Also, my sewing sucks 😅

[@Mommamacnz]

This dress is so very cute. I've seen several videos on making the strawberry dress and I liked them but couldn't see me wearing them. Yours, however, is so lovely that I think I'm going to try and make something similar for myself.

[@blackandblack7]

This is one of the most clear instructions I’ve ever seen 😭visualization helped me so much, thank you💛🥺

[@tama_tal]

even if i really do not like dresses- i will for sure wear that kind of- because this kind of dresses is really amazing for me!

[@onestitchfromhell]

I love your energy! Thanks so much for putting this together, this is the first time I've watched a dress tutorial and felt truly confident that I could make something similar!

[@angelannbaga]

When I first saw your videos, that's when I wanted to start sewing my own clothes. I love dresses and you really inspired me! Idk where to start bec I have no even basic knowledge on sewing. 😂 Thank u so much, keep on posting, keep us inspired all the time! ✨💛💛

[@scout6436]

I feel so happy when I contribute to voting on the instagram stories 🥰☺️

[@mariaazgfxjcy]

this is amazing!!!! i love your energy and the outcome! also thank you for sharing all these resources in the description!

Me about to make everything by hand including the pattern in the dress: ha ha this is going to be fun.

[@Sara-gj4sx]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS DRESS ♥️😭 thank you, i hope you'll do more tutorials ♥️

[@ArtisticAlleyTJ]

This is so cute! I feel like a sleeveless version with a corseted back instead of zip it would be something I will eventually attempt to create! I love it

[@Kyobj]

Oh my gosh, after finding you on TikTok I never stop liking your dresses. I love them.

[@parmarjanvi8266]

I m from India🇮🇳 and you really inspired me. My mom also watching your videos and following on Instagram. You're such a cutie😍

[@TheItGirl113]

Thank you SO much! My style has been changing and I just want to be a sometimes goth garden space fairy, and this dress just captures so much of that and inspires me! I feel like I'll have to go make a few skirts this year for sure 🙂

[@Anna-bm3oe]

Daisies are my favorite flowers, so I was looking for a design like this, looks beautiful!

*Found you from tiktok and some sewing tiktok compilation and I fell in love with your dresses, immediately came to subscribe.*

[@madisonvath6289]

Omg when you posted this on instagram I was like "I'm making this" but as a beginner at sewing I didn't really know how so I was freaking out a lil bit thinking that I was gonna have to just wing it AND THEN YOU SHOWED UP AND SAVED MY MENTAL HEALTH TY ILY

[@conniegonzalez3634]

Okay so like I’ve been having a lot of trouble finding someone who has a similar style to follow tutorials to and I CANT BELIEVE I FOUND YOU! I love your style this is my third video. I love it. Definitely subscribed. Also thank you for the super easy explanations

I just love it!! It's so cutie and it seems comfortable also

What a beautiful dreamy dress!! When I learn to sew, this will be my first project!🥰

[@clubito2]

This is probably the prettiest dress I've ever seen

[@laurenstroupe8254]

You just seem so sweet and encouraging! You make me feel like I could sew anything🥰

[@lostinashelf]

i honestly don't know which one is more adorable: you or this dress. +1 sub, you are so talented!!!

[@HanaEleHH]

I love your video it's so clear and pleasant to watch. Makes me want to make a circle skirt too ☺️

[@bethstie]

this is beautiful! my personal dream version of the strawberry dress is a yellow one with lemons, oranges and limes on it (called the citrus dress of course) but I can't make clothes so I just drew the idea instead lmao

[@mantolinez]

I can't sew and am pretty bad at drawing, so I baked a cake inspired by citrus dress😊

[@pedinurse1]

I love this alot better than the strawberry dress, this is so much prettier

[@morganmiller5413]

I feel like it's much more wearable as well. The strawberry dress Is pretty, but I would feel so out of place in a dress like that, it's very flashy.

[@salmonela8604]

you're so adorable!! the dress turned out gorgeous and I'm really grateful for all the tips and information you added, i'd definitely try to make a similar one myself! i do hope to see more tutorials from you :)

[@sofiaoronaa]

this dress gives me extreme amounts of happiness and serotonin

[@somebody1367]

What if you did an angelcore +cottagecore dress...just an idea...🐥🌾🧚‍♀️

[@catd8929]

yes!!

[@therycat8046]

I'm always stunned by how you can craft anything you want. I wish I could do this and not rely on non ethical markets. So I am glad you made a tutorial (your worm on a string cosplay is truly an inspiration) ✨💕

[@LadyB_20]

You are amazing!!!! You're Effie Trinket dress and Barbie princess and pauper gowns were stuuuuuuuning.

[@Nina-Jaza]

Woah she makes the cutest dresses

[@taiachea3097]

I usually don't post comments but this and Rachel Maksy's halloween version of the strawberry dress are literally my two aesthetics and my fave videos on KZbin right now. Also, kinda random, ur earrings remind me of the ones in gotham memoirs in Dress Up Time Princess

[@heydjsjwiwj]

Ahhh i love this dress soooo much! I think i’m gonna try out the skirt part because i’m only a beginner sewer and i think i could do it but not the corset! i love this sooo much but i was wondering what the base fabric was (you said you got if from the fabric market or something but like i was wondering if it’s like cotton or what). But again this dress is so awesome and your so talented :)

[@crescentshay]

The base is a satin lining fabric, but you can use whatever white/ivory fabric you like, it won’t really be seen! 💕

[@heydjsjwiwj]

@@crescentshay ahh thankyou so much for your reply! I’m definitely excited to try it out :)

[@spid3rgwen415]

How it’s going?^^

How is it?

[@samjoytha]

Such a stunning dress you’ve definitely inspired me to want to start to sew!

[@goodoldfashionedangel]

This is dress is so aggressively adorable that I would probably melt if I saw it in real life!

[@Chimchiri]

The strawberry dress wasn't really my thing but MY GOSH do I love your version!! I'm absolutely amazed, it looks so good!!

[@yulana990]

Love the dress! I wish I could try and recreate this, but I'm trying to stay away from buying anything made out of polyester or plastic in general, so it would get expensive :( I could maybe thrift a few pieces someday and try to use that fabric. Either way its lovely, and you explained the steps very well! And I LOVE to see some circle skirt action! I'm personally ADDICTED to full or even double circle skirts haha! glad to know I'm not alone on that

[@djirishbacon]

So excited for more! You’re literally my favourite instagrammer

[@melaniedomzalski3654]

Making clothes is so daunting and complicated, but I love how you broke it down!!!

[@DabblingEmmaDoc]

Oh my God, my first thought when I saw the thumbnail was "I've found my wedding dress😍"

[@prillybeloved7665]

Love this!!! Did you hem anything?? How did you deal with the edges?? :)

[@crescentshay]

tulle doesn’t need to be hemmed, but all non tulle layers were hemmed or serged!

[@Lotjedoor]

I'm obsessed, I hope I'll make this one to wear this spring/summer!!

[@MariYouIdiot]

You are so motivating, I really want to sew dresses and pants and everyone tells me I can't and I need patterns, but I think I could do it myself thanks to you :D You are soooo talented

[@sophiarose03]

I am so inspired to make this dress now! I loved the strawberry dress for its style and it’s aesthetic, but pink isn’t always my color. Thank you so much for making this video.😊
